Frequently Bought Together

Which cameras is the Sony VG-C3EM vertical grip compatible with?
The VG-C3EM vertical grip is designed for the Sony Alpha 9, Alpha 7R III, and Alpha 7 III full-frame mirrorless cameras.
How many batteries does the VG-C3EM hold?
The grip holds two NP-FZ100 rechargeable batteries, effectively doubling the camera's battery life for longer shooting sessions, and it switches automatically when one battery runs out.
Can I charge the batteries in the grip without removing it from the camera?
Yes. When the grip is attached, you can charge the batteries loaded in the VG-C3EM via the camera's USB port, without detaching the grip.
Does the vertical grip replicate the camera's controls for vertical shooting?
Yes. The VG-C3EM provides a secondary shutter button, AF-ON, front and rear dials, and a Multi Selector so vertical shooting feels similar to horizontal operation.
Is the VG-C3EM built to withstand outdoor conditions?
The grip has a rigid magnesium alloy build designed for a durable, lightweight construction that matches the durability of compatible cameras.
Can I still mount my camera on a tripod with this grip attached?
Yes. The VG-C3EM includes a tripod mount so you can attach the camera and grip assembly to a tripod or monopod as usual.
What are the dimensions and weight of the VG-C3EM?
The grip measures approximately 5 x 4-1/4 x 2-1/2 inches (126.9 x 107.9 x 61.8 mm) and weighs about 9.6 oz (272 g), adding modest size and weight to the camera body.
How is the VG-C3EM different from the VG-C4EM?
The VG-C3EM is the grip made for the Alpha 9, Alpha 7R III, and Alpha 7 III, while the VG-C4EM is a later model designed for newer cameras like the Alpha 9 II and Alpha 7R IV; they are not the same grip.
How much does the Sony VG-C3EM Vertical Grip cost?
MSRP is listed as $419.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
